Dear List Servers,
Below is an extract from a thread with LSoft tech support. If you are running
cc:Mail and LISTSERV 1.8c, you may have experience that would help us get to the
bottom of this problem.
With all due respect to LSoft, their response is that this is a cc:Mail problem
(which it may well be) and the work around that I stumbled upon is a
"coincidence". Not a lot of help.

Dear Support,
Since I last contacted you with the message below, I have done some further
testing. While I have not found out what is causing the problem described
below, I do know how to "fix" (workaround!) it.
It seems that the lists that had the "cc" problem were last PUT by an owner at
our domain, SFSIERRA.SIERRACLUB.ORG. (The LISTSERV resides at
LISTS.SIERRACLUB.ORG.) So, when the header of the problem lists were PUT by a
site administrator not at our home domain, the problem went away! Go figure.
Yet, this is excellent news as now the lists are fully functional again. Only I
would still like to figure out why the "cc" problem was occurring so that we can
actually PUT lists from our own email ids. Any ideas?
Dave
PS One of the "fixed" lists is our HELP4-WEBMASTERS list, where I now receive
messages with "bcc". On another list, HELP4-LISTOWNERS, I receive messages as
"cc".

Dear Support,
There is a LISTSERV behavior that I don't completely understand. I have users
complaining so it is time to address it. We are running LISTSERV 1.8c
WindowsNT, LSMTP, and cc:Mail on our LAN. Here is the problem...
For the longest time, a user would get a message with the following addressing:
From: [log in to unmask]
cc: Recipient at Sierra Club - SF
Now, on what appears to be most lists, a message has the following addressing
(for users on my cc:Mail LAN system):
From: [log in to unmask]
cc: Recipient at Sierra Club - SF
cc: OtherRecipient at Sierra Club - SF
cc: YetAnotherRecipient at Sierra Club - SF
.
.
So, all the recipients with the domain that translates to Sierra Club - SF get
put in as a "cc" on the message.
I would expect this to be a cc:Mail problem, but I do not think that it is. On
the list HELP4-LISTSERV-OWNERS, we do not get multiple "cc's", even though there
are multiple people at this domain subscribed to the list. However, on the list
HQ-ICS-TEST-TRAINING, we get the multiple "cc's". The two LIST files are below.
I synched them up tonight just for this test. The only other difference that I
can think of is that the first list was created in 1.8b while the second was
created in 1.8c. However, there are other 1.8b lists that have the multiple cc
problem.
I have sent back to back messages to both these lists to be sure that there
were not other variables involved such as senders actually cc'ing people.
Help! Thanks.
PS While this is off topic, it would be interesting to note why cc:Mail uses
"cc" on some lists, "bcc" on others, and "to" on yet others. Any ideas? "to"
seems to be for announcement lists, but I am not sure I have defined the
pattern. But, back to the problem at hand....
This one works with a single cc, regardless of how many subscribers at this
domain....
